    Change would be good in boxing, a lot of stuff that has happened in recent years is getting comical. It could only get worse as well. But what could actually be done though? The way boxing is and how established the sport is through all of these sanctioning bodies is just makes it hard to see how they could be broken down. They are blatantly corrupt and money making schemes but it just gets put under the table. I like the idea of the judges not knowing the promotor, but can you see that ever happening?

    It's horrible really, but a radical change in the sport would give it positive image, with all of the corruption and PEDS incidents or late you hope change is on the horizon. But nothing as usual has happened of it.

    I would personally be behind cleaning up the sport, as a young boxing fan I feel I understand change would be good and I would love for that to happen. But in a realistic world, there's too much money involved that's why I don't think anything radical would happen. However, it really does need to though.

    i) one governing body - will never happen. That body should have the authority to force match ups, control promoters, tv rights etc.. Yep I am in fucking dream world !

    ii) Judges current scores announced every three rounds - will never happen


    Make as many fights available to general public as possible and not all these fucking ppv, standalone subscription channels etc...

    Even fight fans are not seeing some of the main fighters these days without forking out - so if it continues the casual fan may all but disappear.
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    Naked or at least topless round card girls would be good.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    See how easily people are swayed by politicians.

    You mean that was an empty campaign promise?

    As are all politician promises.

    PS I would be "interviewing" the ring card girls to make sure they have the qualities needed to do the job.
